A Scale-Up & Out Environment -- Achieving

20 Million Messages / Day
‹ Scaling up SQL Server (single
MessageBox database)
¾ The receiving and processing
throughput when the CPU
processors on SQL Server are
scaled up from 1, 2, 4, and 8 CPU
processors.

‹ Scaling out SQL Server

(multiple MessageBox
databases)
¾ The performance impact of
various deployments involving
different numbers of BizTalk
Servers and SQL Servers

‹ Scaling out BizTalk Server in

an orchestration scenario
¾ Multiple BizTalk Servers (receive
and send) are added until the
orchestration server becomes
the bottleneck

‹ Scaling out BizTalk Server in a

messaging scenario
¾ Adding multiple BizTalk Servers
to a deployment until the
MessageBox database in SQL
Server becomes the bottleneck
due to lock contentions
